200 Solo Q games and my experience/escape rate
Here it is, gonna be a long post. been awhile for this not only due to it being 200 games but iv also had things inbetween such as covid etc.
So I didnt take note of every single detail, that would be alot of effort and I only started to keep track as I hadn't played for abit (on holiday) and when I came back I ended up going on some win streaks.
Some some info, EU (uk) off peak time, solo Q. Would use WGLF, DS always. The other 2 perks were mixed as I had lots of tome challenges to do so ranged alot of Headon, balanced, DH, inner strength, windows etc. I also mainly used a brown toolbox but also used a brown medkit sometimes.
NONE of these matches were cherry picked, what I mean by this is even if a game had an early DC, facecamped or even the one day I lost a bunch in a row I counted every single one. (NOTE, no games in the mmr tests was counted in this as I felt thatd mix my data but if you're interested I escaped easier)
So what was my escape rate? 72.5% 142/200 games was escapes. This had dropped quite abit from my first 50games where I was at an 80% escape rate but 72.5% is still alot
It's worth noting that one day I got on earlier and every game was very miss matched and I was either having to mega sweat to try escape or it was just an instant loss with lots disconnecting.
Also note games I often escaped in was often 2/3 man escapes. It was rare for me to escape alone especially via hatch
Killers I versed: nurse, blight being most common. Bubba, huntress being the next common. I didnt see alot of killers during this 200 games run, some only appeared 1or2times at max.
Hardest games I had was verse nurses using insta down builds such as Haunted, retribution, undying, ruin or starstruck, agitation with a midwhich offering.
My conclusion from this: when matched with survivors of similar skill or even ones that split up on gens it was usually pretty easy to escape verse most of the killer roster unless it was a good nurse or blight. Often the games that lead to a loss was due to a DC or a miss play on our end in terms of people trading, not doing gens or accidentally being injured and grouped together.
I dont think iv missed anything, I didn't keep track of my teams perks they seemed decent builds on average but it was never all 4perk meta. I also didnt track the killers perks each match but was often multiple gen defense (2 minimum)
Edit: for those curious, I mentioned breaks/small gaps in these 200 games. This was often only a day or two here and there but was due to severe covid symptoms, Halo, Evil dead beta and Tiny Tina's wonderland

I've had a similar experience, though I haven't played Survivor in a while so maybe my escape rate would be different now that Sadako has been released

Doubtful, while I dont think shes bad (I did verse a few and I love playing her) at the end of the day shes a basic attack killer and if she dont get downs fast gens will be popping just the same. Basic attack killers always struggle the most, the only time I seen her get a killer (in my 200games) was because someone was obsessed with tapes 😂

Poor Sadako.
How many Demogorgon did you see?

hmmm, time for me to start converting my paper into google sheets

Well that's just all basic attack killers, shes not the worst though.
And 1 I think, maybe that was on the recent mmr tests though. Either way 0 or 1 and he didnt manage to do all that well bless him

I probably should of created some excel sheets but honestly that's alot of effort 😂 for the most part I'm chilling on my phone or listening to music between matches and just quickly noting if I escaped or not haha

Had a similar experience. Basically the thing that was more dangerous to me were teammates that disconnected or suicided on the first hook. If none of that happenend, than the match usually ended in a 3/4 man escape.

Poor Demogorgon

Maybe stream these solo q only matches for a few weeks consecutive, so we all (devs included) can enjoy witnessing the results with you, firsthand.
just a thought

I'd be interested to know how expereienced you are and how you would evaluate your knowledge and your ability to carry that knowledge over into actual gameplay and execute it along with the time you had to practise (deliberately avoiding the words "skill" and "ingame hours" which seem too broad).
0 -
Just by the sheer amount of dc's and suicide on hooks, I don't know how the percentage doesn't get dragged down more. Add to that all the Blights and Nurses going full meta.
Maybe I'm just unlucky in my region.
Oh, btw, I have a 99.9% escape in soloQ. Source: trust me bro.

I recorded a bit more info.
I think I had hooks, kills, totems cleansed, boons, noed and how many kills it got, how many gens got done ect

Lmao

I have thought about streaming but you have to take into account alot of things from setup as a console POV, capabilities, off peak time as well at the fact I'm pretty anti social with anxiety (hence solo Q alot) I do still think about it but theres alot, and I mean ALOT of hateful people out there and my views and opinions are quite blunt and probably not shared with most survivors. Also the devs wouldn't like it as I dont agree with their systems etc.

Well avoiding skill and hours (hours is a terrible judge of skill anyway) Its a hard one to say, even videos can be hard as alot of people arent able to determine how skillful some truly is.
I guess I would say my ability to play both roles with a consistent outcome no matter the killer I verse. I have no issue adjusting my playstyle or how to run loops depending on the killer, having a vast knowledge of perks and how they can all work I'm able to strategically work around them.
I honestly dont believe DBD is a hard game to do at all, everything is pretty basic and I'm usually someone who constantly thinks even if I'm just chilling, I'd also say gaming is second nature to me from other games I'm always doing well whether that's CTR time trials to FPS games etc. So with a simple game like DBD memorizing perks, maps, tiles and even totem spawns wasnt too hard for me. I guess reaction times can also help? But alot of loops have 0 mindgame, even more so standing at certain points
0 -
Well I dont give up just by 1 DC. Dont get me wrong alot of games I lost was due to that but people DC over a numerous amount of stupid reasons. I did even mention one day I got on early and refused to do it again because of the players on at that time. The time I play definitely is sweaty survivors so it's not that surprising tbh.
And you dont have to believe me but I'm not someone to lie, my opinions are quite blunt and honest and I honestly dont care what people on the forums think, I continued to keep track as others was interested when I made my other post of just coming back and getting an 80% escape rate.
0 -
Damn, dunno if I have that kind of commitment to it, at the start I was just curious and then continued because people was wondering if itd stay high.
I would like to do that but that means having my PC setup along side my console which just makes things jammed together.
You should definitely tag me whenever you share the stats, I like my number crunching and comparing how things are
0 -
You play on Console? With crossplay on or off?
0 -
It's good to know that you are ok...
Also the fact that you played 200 matches and faced Nurses, Blights, Bubbas and Huntress most of the time seems pretty worrisome
That's a lot of RNG is way of playstyles and Perk builds (that don't look like "meta" but again that's all on playstyle)
0 -
I'm pressing 'x'.
But if you play super selfish and play for the hatch, I could possibly see this being accurate.
Maybe I'm just terrible at this game though or sacrifice myself to save others too much. But I wouldn't have a 72 percent escape rate play swf, let alone playing solo.

Literally.
My kill rate as killer is 100% as clown without addons and perks.
No, I don't have any evidence, I'm just saying it here right now, so it must be true.
I'd love to see all these people who bring stats to the table show us some footage of them.

It’s too bad you didn’t have time to track the perks people were using, it’s interesting to pivot out escape rates versus counts of perks in the match. There was a post a couple months ago where someone posted a data file of 400 matches that included how many survivors ran Dead Hard, Borrowed Time, etc, which revealed a really strong correlation between Dead Hard and escape rates compared to the other perks they tracked.
I kind of wish DbD just has a public database of match results, it’s fun to fiddle around with the numbers.
0 -
Most of my games that I lose as killer are games where 3 or more run dead hard. Period.
I know it's anecdotal, but I'm not at all surprised that there is a correlation between running dead hard and increased survival rates.
I'm not saying that's the only reason I lose, btw. Many games I just don't play well or the other survivors make some really good plays. But the games I get rekt almost always have 3-4 DHs.
1 -
My Solo-q exp is so much different than this. 72% escape? It almost imposible for my solo exp. But maybe this just me? Maybe only i have bad games as solo survivor.
3 -
Well at the start I wasnt tracking that so it was abit late to start half way through, also that's an awful lot of effort lol.
I know for certain that there was some strong perks used, but it's rare I get full meta teammates. I will add that games that went rough (still escaped alot of them) had a selfcare/urban user
1 -
Well we do have very different opinions on the game, like the recent posts on tinkerer which you think too strong while I dont second look at it and feel it has lots of counters.
But this is off peak EU, survivors are very "sweaty" and just generally pretty good, this is why my killer games have been so hard with the strict mmr tests
0 -
For context in that 400 game sample they had something like a 70% kill rate against groups that had no Dead Hard and then each survivor that had it dropped the kill rate something like 5-10%. It was pretty dramatic.
2 -
DH is a game changer without a doubt, especially if you're a basic attack killer. It's why I cant wait for the DH distance to be gone, I might actually see more killers as they can perform better
Edit: I should know, I use it lol

Did something similar awhile back with some very similar results. Was back in 2020 but a lot is still the same.
100 Solo Queue Red Rank Survivor Games Over the Last Couple Weeks — Dead By Daylight
Alongside a spreadsheet detailing every killer/perk/survival rates/DCs/etc.
Like you mentioned, it almost always feels like its more your teammates than the Killer that is causing you to lose games. Survivors insta DCing/Suiciding, not doing anything, hookbombing, etc. but if the survivors had any sort of brains, the games were pretty easy.
60+% escape rate, running Kindred/Resilience/Small Game/Spine Chills at Red Ranks. Not even playing selfish. Always tried to take pressure off survivors with lesser health states, working generators instead of hiding when team numbers dwindled.
It's weird that there are people who doubt players who have OK escape rates as if that's impossible(like Bwsted and Marigoria in this thread). I've seen so many people who claim to never be able to escape and that having 50+ escape rate is complete bullshit... THOSE are the people I want to see stream. I don't care about your 70% escape rate OP, but THOSE people who NEVER ESCAPE. They're the ones I want to see play.

Feel free to watch me then, I don’t think anyone else will. I die 7/10 times while playing solo. I feel like I have to bring DH to even stand a little chance.
1 -
Yea I find it pretty amazing, last 3 days of solo q I haven’t even had the exit gate open, decided to switch to killer instead now
2 -
Well fact is alot of people are just very casual, or just dont play very good or efficient. I feel most people that doubt you can escape alot are people who want weaker perks nerfed or just generally arent as good as they think.
Admittedly most players also play at peak time while I play at off peak time which usually results in more competitive and "sweaty" games.
While I understand why youd want to watch people who cant escape, likely to see if your assumptions are correct about them making alot of mistakes, bad plays and just be inefficient I personally couldn't watch it.
I was trying to explain to someone else that this is just second nature to me so I dont quite understand why people people hide/dont do gens much or even look behind them
BTW thanks for the stats, I like stats
0 -
Lol ok.
1 -
See my experience is the opposite, killer is horrible and that's why I play more survivor. The fact I was stomping on killers who wasnt nurse and blight just meant even when I played killer I had insanely good survivors as the weaker killers who also beat me pretty easily.
It's not like both roles are easy, the time I play survivor is just easier dude to every survivor being somewhat good
